Well, it\u2019s time to start planning your trip! With the money you\u2019ve saved, it\u2019s time to visit <strong>Madrid<\/strong> in style, and enjoy each of the seven deadly sins along the way. You\u2019ll have plenty of wine at your disposal to put you in the mood. Here\u2019s what you should do when you\u2019re good and soaked:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Greed:<\/strong> Squeeze everything you can out of Madrid without paying for it \u2013 including the air! Get high on what the city offers, quite literally. A study, a few years ago, found traces of cocaine in the air\u2026 so breathe deep.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pride:<\/strong> Experience the pride of Madrid with a visit to the Museo Reina Sofia. Make sure you check out the painting \u201cGuernica\u201d by <strong>Pablo Picasso<\/strong>, and see one of the best reasons Madrid has to be proud.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sloth:<\/strong> Do absolutely nothing at the Jardin Botanico. Find a nice patch of grass, and make it your own. Sprawl out; close your eyes. Let everyone else trouble themselves with walking \u2013 you\u2019re on vacation! Take it easy. Maybe, if you\u2019re feeling a little ambitious, take a short stroll around before returning to your perfect, serene spot. Just don\u2019t do it in the middle of the afternoon, as you\u2019ll be no more slothful, so to speak, than anyone else!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Envy:<\/strong> Take a stroll over to the Royal Palace of Madrid \u2026 and accept the fact that you will never enjoy such opulence for yourself. Sure, the King of Spain doesn\u2019t live there anymore, but that doesn\u2019t mean you shouldn\u2019t be jealous \u2013 just think of the staff you\u2019d have at your disposal!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gluttony:<\/strong> Sit down to ham \u2013 a lot of it \u2013 at the Museo del Jamon. The long menu contains more types of ham and dishes featuring it than you probably thought were possible. Eat yourself senseless, and then waddle out the door.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lust:<\/strong> Of course, the locals will catch your eye, but to truly get your motor running, you need to cross Gran Via and enter the city\u2019s \u201cred light\u201d district. You\u2019ll have no trouble finding a party \u2013 whatever your interests \u2013 at the bars in this part of town, and the stores offer up the sorts of \u201csouvenirs\u201d you wouldn\u2019t normally buy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wrath:<\/strong> Light up a big fat cigar in a restaurant \u2026 the city has gone smoke-free.<br \/>\n<em>Don&#8217;t forget to <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/cheapoair\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8216;Like us&#8217; on Facebook<\/a><\/strong> for exclusive travel deals! <\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>photo: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/malias\/146316976\/sizes\/m\/in\/photostream\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">malias <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Ham Museum! &nbsp; Do you have your cheap tickets to Madrid yet?
